SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,134, dated November12, 1889.

Application filed May 21, 1889. Serial No. 311,567. (No model.)

To all whom it 'may concern: Y

Be it known that we, HARRY C. YOOUM and MARTIN V. KAOER, both of thecity of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain newand useful Improvement in Bags for Bottles, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This is a cover for bottles composed of heavy paper, the main part ofwhich is preferably formed with indentations on one side forming conicalprojections upon the'other side, this material being the subject-matterof Letters Patent No. 234,582, granted November 16, 1880, to M. V.Kacer, aforesaid. v

In this improvement the cover is made of a rectangular sheet, two ofwhose edges are overlapped and stuck fast. One end of the cylinder isthen folded to reduce its end to the size of the neck of the bottle andthe corners brought together and held by a clinching-staple, whichpenetrates all the folds.

Figure I is an elevation of the complete wrapper. Fig. II is an enlargedtransverse section at II II, Fig. I.

The cylindrical part 1 of the cover has numerous indentations 2 upon theouter side, with projections on the inner side, as described in thepatent ofKacer, before mentioned, and these pits, indentations, andprojections form an essential part of our present invention when incombination With the plain part 3 of the cover, which is folded into afrusto-conical form, so that its upper ends fit the end of thebottle-neck or the cork therein.

The blank for the cover consists of a rectangular piece, two of Whoseedges, 4, are lapped together and stuck fast with paste, glue, or othersuitable adhesive substance. Then the upper corners are made. into folds5, whose points 6 are folded over each other, as shown, and a smallstaple 7 driven through the points and the part of the cover beneaththem. The staple we have used is that Well known to the trade as McGillsstaple binders, and We have inserted them by a usual machine, whichclinches the ends 8, as shown in Fig. II.

We claim as our invention 1. A bottle-cover having apart 1, fitting thebody of the bottle, and a neck portion 3,

reduced by folding its two edges over onto one another, so that thisportion may fit the neck, and a single staple 7, for securing saidoverlapping folds together, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, in a bottle-cover, of a part 1, adapted to fit thebody of abottle and having the described indentations 2 and proj ectionsupon opposite sides, and an unindented neck or upper part 3, reduced indimensions and thickened by folding and secured by a staple 7,substantially as set forth.
